The Distractions and Buzzcocks

We are delighted to announce that The Distractions will be opening for old friends Buzzcocks this Saturday 14th December at 53 Degrees in Preston. Doors are from 7pm and we will confirm stage times nearer the time.


Tickets are available from several online ticket retailers but the promoters suggest Eventim: 


This will be the last date in what's been a pretty busy year for everyone involved with all things Distractions - live shows, in the studio recording new songs, and the Nobody's Perfect reissue. The chance to support Steve Diggle and new band had to be taken, particuarly since passing of Pete Shelley last year. The Distractions will also be supporting the Pete Shelley memorial gig in Leigh next February.


"I am going to raise the mast & set the sails for the next voyage of the good ship, Buzzcocks" - Steve Diggle.

With the untimely passing of Pete Shelley in December 2018, Buzzcocks will continue to record and play live shows with founding member, Steve Diggle, taking over vocal duties to front the band. 

Steve has sung with the band from the very beginning, writing 50 songs, including hits "Promises", "Fast Cards" & "Harmony in my Head". 

He will be joined by the long term current line-up of Danny Farrent (drums) & Chris Remmington (bass) performing all the classic Buzzcock hits & more.
